Ahhh see... Right see the thing that's got it all f*cked up now is camera-phones.
|
How the hell am I supposed to be able to do a line in front of complete strangers, when I know they've
|
all got cameras?
|
|
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
|
it's all so easy you get a bit spoilt.
|
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too,
|
it feels just like when you wasn't famous.
|
|
The celebrity pages in papers don't tell tales that are always to the line of the truth.
|
It's 'til a line (of coke) at which most likely you'll have the time, or enough finance to sue.
|
Which is why it's so frightening buying papers in the morning fearing the next Mike Skinner scoop.
|
'Cos I used to believe what I read, so now I know that others will believe that it's true
|
But I realised, with you the truth could be, a whole lot worse than the flack.
|
My whole life I never thought I'd see, a pop star smoke crack.
|
And I must admit I was quite shocked, with that thing you did with me on my back.
|
But, outside in the lobby, I shouldn't have laughed when you slapped that man.

|
|
You were so much fun, I really got to like you more than you liked me,
|
I really hoped that you'd stay.
|
Considering the amount of prang you'd done, you looked amazing on cd...uk.
|
You learn dances, do promo, cameras flashing, get in the van, zoom away (reeeoow).
|
I wake up high, (unknown) feel hung over and sorry for my doomed day.
|
But I know I got a bit close to you, and that you found it f*cking boring.
|
You taught me so much about how to deal with the (?).
|
And what version of a rumour would be next day everyone's story of me.
|
You taught me all the realities and "turn the page & ignore 'em".

|
|
Anyway, I had to rest my beer hat, delete my dealer's number and unroll my bank notes.
|
And we were on borrowed time anyway, what with the daily toilet papers not knowin'.
|
And I knew that when the people who thought they knew you, when they found out, I would've been mocked.
|
Which is ironic, 'cos in reality, standing next to you I look f*cking soft.
|
Whenever I see you on MTV, I can't stop my big wide smile.
|
And past the "children's appeal", I see the darkness behind.
|
We both know the scratches on my back, much better than the alludes and lies.
|
I miss the bitchin' and shoutin', but I'm glad I got out in time.

|
You can't keep f*cking popstars, we've got a f*cking business to run. There are industry repercussions,

Michael!... I know
